We can not roar, because our armed forces have been reduced to being mice.<br />Proposals for raising an additional Corps ( or even raising it actually), indigenous aircraft carriers and shining new aircrafts do not make for military might. Satisfied soldiers do. Since there is really no measure of how satisfied India's serving soldiers are, it is a good idea to measure the satisfaction of ex-servicemen, who were serving soldiers till yesterday and then extrapolate the results.<br />The retired servicemen community are in perpetual legal tangles with the MOD in several cases. Can there be a more illustrative case- study than the rank pay case being played out in the courts these days. From the sessions court to the Supreme court level, all courts have upheld the plea of ex servicemen, and at all levels, the govt of India has fought and opposed them. Even after the Supreme court has ordered them to pay up, they are not implementing the directions completely. The result is a contempt case against the Defence Secy and others.<br />That is the actual state of affairs. In such an environment, will an additional Corps help?<br />And how will a nation which can not get enough officers for its army at existing levels, get so many more for an additional corps? Well, it doesn't really matter since the failure on the battlefield can always be attribute to the army, however under-officered it may be.<br />The only enemy the Indian army has, is the Indian MOD.Alok Asthanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362507906160748320noreply@blogger.com
